What are your biggest worries for your wedding day?

sr3693, 13 April, 2011 at 21:54 Posted on Planning 0 27

As above really....I don't mean running up to the wedding...i would have a list of about 100 things, haaa Smiley smile I just mean on the actual day!

I'm worried I wont be happy with my hair & make up - i hate pictures of myself too!

I'm worried I will feel ill/have a panic attack - i suffer with these when overly nervous!

I'm worried about my skin.....i get spotty when tired and stressed

I'm worried about drunken arguments/fights in the evening

I'm worried about tripping over/ruining my dress somehow

I'm worried one of my suppliers wont make it

There are obv lots of little things but these are the main worries!

    I'm worried that it will rain as my ceremony is outside, the breakfast is outside.. everything is outside!!!

    I'm worried that people won't turn up, its a fairly small wedding with only 48 guests all day and I don't want it to feel empty!

    I'm worried that I'll cry and ruin my make up!

    I think my main worries are:

    Something unexpected happening

    Being late!

    Being too emotional and crying (I'm certainly not pretty when I cry!)

    My Mum getting upset about it all

    And that's a short list for someone who's a worrier!

    As well as the vast majority of the above (I'm a massive worrier), I'm really worried that I'll trip up the aisle, stand on my dress, pull it down & my boobs will come out. This wasn't something I was originally worrying about until OH suggested it could happen! In actual fact, I am very clumsy and trip over often so it's a real possibility! ?

    Hi

    I think my one and only fear on the day is getting too emotional and blubbering my way down the aisle. I only have to watch a wedding on tv or even think about Our wedding day and it starts me off!!

    I have a huge phobia of crying! Its all i keep dreaming about ha

    For my actual wedding the only thing I have to be worried about is that either me or OH get sick in the helicopter!!!

    For our day over here I don't think I'm worried about anything actually. We've got the added bonus that we'll already be married so I'm hoping I won't be too nervous. I'm just crazily excited for it all. Not worried. Not stressed. Just giddy.

    Falling onto some part of my anatomy. I don't do heels, and I don't do long dresses, and am going to be wearing a combination of the two... Plus my chuch aisle has heating vents in the middle of the aisle...

    Dancing - falling over my own feet during the first dance - OH won't let us dodge it.

    I am worried about almost everything already said!

    Mainly worrying about my IBS playing up and I have had panic attacks too.

    I hate having all the attention on me, i've never had a birthday party/night out because of this and am dreading my hen weekend which is this weekend!!!

    Worried I'll put on loads of weight in the last few weeks and my dress wont fit....Ive had dreams that i'm getting ready and I didn't have my dress and we live 2 hours away from the venue and my groom is waiting!

    Also hate photos of myself too but decided to have someone do my hair and make up so I know that I will look ok (i hope) so not worrying about this as much now! I honestly do think that this is the one day that I will have to get over these things as I wan't it so much.

    Also outdoor wedding so hoping no rain but also not too hot either as my dress is quite heavy and a sweaty bride is not a good look!!

    Worried people won't show up!

    Going to stop now as im starting to sound a bit of a worrying nutter! (I'm not i promise!)

    My main worry is my Dad. He's been through so many operations and illnesses lately. I just hope that by then it's all over and he's back to full health

    my other little concerns are being on period (although I shouldn't be), how will I go to the toilet in my dress? Will I need assistance lol, OH's mum saying something that may upset my family (she's lovely but if you don't know her some things she says about west Indians could be taken as sterotypical)

    My weight (very unhappy size 18-20), crying my way down the aisle and vows, fighting between family which would be as a result of alcohol, not getting any good wedding pictures as I am not photogenic at all and spilling food down my dress.

    I know these are trivial things but these are my main worrying points at the moment!

    Your h2b obviously loves you the way/size/shape you are. That's what matters. Of course, you are allowed to be unhappy about your size, but that's an issue only you can deal with or come to terms with. It won't - or at least shouldn't - make any difference to your wedding unless you let it.

    My biggest worry? Getting emotional. I'm a guy and it's not meant to happen, but when I hear certain songs that we are using on the day, I start to think about the day and can feel it all welling up. I just need to keep listening to them when I'm alone and desensitise myself.

    My other worry is that neither of us are 'party animals', we don't "host parties" or "have loads of friends round" on a regular basis, and that the evening will go a bit flat, or people will leave early because of the long journey home and come 10pm there'll only be half a dozen of us left.

    I worry about the things i have no control over!

    My current stress is that the cufflinks I ordered for my Dads gift are not going to get here, as I speak they have not arrived and the seller from Etsy promised to ship them on 1st April so they would def arrive, then I got a message on 8th to say shipping today!!!! She has now obviously gone awol!!!! grrr

    The weather, really want it to be at last dry so we can have ceremony on beach

    the food, have not been able to have a tasting as so far away so hope its yummy

    everyone enjoying themselves

    I worry incase my OH doesnt love what I have organised or hates my dress

    That i will not do my lovely dress justice and look fat in it

    I worry i will at the pictures as I usually hate pics of myself and OH hates pics of himself too so i think the photos is going to be a bit traumatic unless the photographer is a miracle worker

    I worry that something/anything will go drastically wrong

    And now i have read the apron thread I am worried i will spill on my dress

    Need to stop think about the worries now

    Worried about a lot of the afor-mentioned like tripping over, boobs falling out of my dress and my hair going flat which it looks like a lot of brides worry about.

    I am also worried about it snowing really heavily (Dec 23rd) and our guests getting stuck on M25, my Dad not getting there in time to give me away (he is a postman and can't get the day off work so finishes at midday and wedding is at 2pm).

    Also worried about people singing in the church sounding rubbish - our church is massive and seats hundreds but we only have 65 guests in the day. I say "only" but this is way more people than I ever thought we knew! I'm just worried that it will sound flat as we can't have the choir so close to Christmas to boost the sound Smiley sad

    Still got 8 months to go yet so ask me nearer the time and I will have thought of millions more things to stress about I'm sure!

    Please don't hate me but....

    I'm not worried about anything, what happens happens - and will happen in 2 days time YAAAAY!!!!

    On the other hand, my mum is worried about:

    her outfit (totally gorgeous and so her)

    the cake that she's made for us (utterly perfect)

    evening catering (if we run out it's cos the guests are all greedy rugby playing louts - OH friends)

    weather (can't do anything about it and I have a gorgeous heart shaped umbrella just in case for photos - everything else is inside!)

    my grandad not staying all night (the man's nearly 93! if he wants to leave at 8pm I'll order the taxi myself!)

    the photos (my sisters friend is doing them, he's never done a wedding shoot before but some of his arty portrait shots are amazing so I have every confidence in him)

    There's probably more but that's a long enough list as it is... wish I could stop her worrying so much. It almost makes me nervous lol

    This might sound really vain and selfish, but I'm worried about my skin.

    For the last few months I've been really struggling with breaking out into spots on my left cheek. Otherwise my skin is as clear as it's always been, but my left cheek is a right mess. Some have said it's an allergic reaction to some facewash or make-up I'm using, so I ditched all my old stuff and got hypoallergenic things, which seemed to really help for a couple of weeks. It just seems to flare up midway through the month (halfway between periods, sorry for tmi!) so I think it's a hormonal thing too. In any case, it's not getting better and I'm in a bit of a flap over it. I'm going to cheekily ask my TOG to make sure he photoshops me to make my skin look lovely ?

    - My dad being a grumpy sod!

    - How I will feel in my dress on the day

    - My hair and make up

    - Having my photos taken (I normally avoid having my photos taken!)

    Stacking it half way down the aisle and blubbing my way through the vow's ?

    I'm a proper stresshead and always think that if I've considered what might go wrong I'll be able to deal with it if it does. So far my main worries are:

    Crying during the vows. Probably won't happen, I'm actually more likely to get the giggles (particularly if I catch the eye of a particular friend on my way down the aisle!) but if OH cries, I will.

    Red wine on the dress. I did consider being a bridezilla and banning coloured drinks, but that is really going too far. Also spilling my dinner down myself. I've already requested seven napkins from the venue and we haven't even finalised our menu yet!

    Falling over down the aisle. I usually wear flats and have gone for a small heel on the day. I think I might have to be wearing them around the house for a bit first.

    People making drunken fools of themselves. I don't mean I don't want people to drink and have a good time, but everybody knows people who don't take their drink well. My mum acts drunk after one glass of wine, there's a couple of people who seriously hate each other, not to mention the two divorced couples attending.

    My weight. Under normal circumstances I don't worry (clothes range between 8-14) but I have the fear that I won't fit into my dress. I'm wearing a lot of the same clothes as I was when I bought the dress, so it's a completely illogical fear.

    Probably my biggest one, and the most realistic, is that I suffer a bit from IBS and can sometimes get painful cramps. I've learned how to function with it, but it's my wedding day and I don't weant to be in pain. I'll cram myself full of peppermint tea andcapsules and hope for the best. Any other tips?

    Despite all the worries, I'm sure we'll all have fabulous days and not sweat the small stuff when we're there!

    Im worried I,ll cry in the car, walking down the aisle, saying my vows...........

    No one will enjoy themselves or get up and dance, leaving a very empty dance floor.

    There is a bit of walking involved, and that people who cant walk far will not come because of it.

    I will have spotty skin.

    I will have my period, quite probable, have worked it out!

    I wont like my dress. I loved it when I found it, but going for first fitting it was plainer than I remembered and it had lost the wow factor.

    Hopefully I will love it again!

    Im sure there will be more.
